After infusing equity into our organizational practices, conducting diversity training and ensuring fair hiring practices, many leaders have hit a brick wall. While their teams seem more diverse, many leaders realize that more needs to be done to make their organizations inclusive. Join us at the 2015 Nonprofit Leadership Institute, co-convened by Pepperdine University and the Ventura County Community Foundation, and reflect upon your leadership style and how your behavior inspires and empowers your colleagues and creates within your teams a deep and broad sense of Ubuntic Inclusion – transforming your organization.

Join us for a rejuvenating and engaging day of exploration and discussion of leadership actions that create, nurture and sustain workplace inclusion. Leaders will learn specific behaviors that energize themselves and their employees, forging the foundation for more inclusive teams, departments and organizational cultures. With real implications for organizational dynamics and success, Ubuntic Inclusion facilitates greater job satisfaction, effectiveness, motivation, and organizational loyalty and cohesiveness.
